The Downtown Kingsport BuskerFest Around the World is a brand-spankin’ new attraction to the ever-popular FunFest with a multi-cultural twist! Held on the first Saturday of FunFest, July 16th, the Downtown Kingsport BuskerFest Around the World will help kick off another great and exciting week of festival fun for Northeast TN! This one-day event is meant to promote the age-old tradition of street performing – also known as “busking” – and encourages various types of performing artists to hone their crafts while performing publicly on the sidewalks of uniquely beautiful areas in Downtown Kingsport. You can experience the various eclectic performances from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. throughout historic Broad Street and Market Street in Downtown Kingsport on July 15th. The BuskerFest is family-friendly, and will include special kid-oriented activities.
